Safety and financial sustainability are now a daily focus for work units, programs and services within our Region.

Hospital capacity is inextricably linked to healthcare delivery in the community. So, our focus over these past months has been on things that we can do to in the community to prevent the need for acute care, and when acute care is needed, things we can do to safely return patients to their homes and home communities, where they want to be. As we look across the continuum of care, we are connecting the care experience for patients, residents and clients by strengthening team-based care in hospital and community settings.

Our cellular structure (co-located support personnel for unit managers) is seeing results in helping managers better focus on their teams and on quality improvements. As this structure approaches full implementation on units throughout our organization, our attention turns to our Patient First Management System. This system encompasses the behaviours, philosophies, processes and tools that all healthcare staff and physicians need to improve care for patients, residents and clients on a daily basis and to achieve operational excellence.

The children’s hospital, now known as the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital thanks to a generous donation, remains a key strategy for our organization.
